This will include a 120m rotor that has been built using new carbon technology, and a swept area increase of 19% compared to the earlier V100-2.0MW model, using increasing in weight by 8%.

“Projects in China are increasingly moving to low and ultra-low wind areas in southeastern parts of the country and the V120-2.0/2.2 MW turbine is specifically designed for such wind regimes,” said Kebao Yang, Vestas Group Senior Vice President and Vestas China President.
